I decided to take a day for myself, which kind of makes it sound like I never do, when in fact I do quite often. Anyway, here I am at the library dinking around on the computer, which I would quite happily do at home, except my wonderful laptop won’t automatically find wi-fi connections, and I don’t know how to fix that.
I went to the store this morning after dropping the kids at school. Went and picked up acouple of things for Dad, and then did a bit of window shopping that ended up with me buying just acouple of things. I wanted to get some playing cards for the girls and I, as Des wants me to teach her how to play Canasta. She kind of already knows how, but she needs practice, and I don’t mind playing with kids, while other people don’t have the patience to. Also it will give us a chance to play concentration/memory, which is good for both the girls, as it will increase their memory capacity which should help with their reading comprehension. I also picked up just acouple of things for them for Christmas, some pencils they can take to school, or leave at home (their choice) and a deck of playing cards for their very own.
Then I came here to the library to pick out some movies and books, and now am getting some work done on the computer, as well as just kind of dinking around doing what I enjoy.
Tomorrow or Thursday I need to go to a bigger town and do some Christmas shopping, as well as pick up Dad’s boots which I took in to have new heels put on them. It will be another enjoyable day, as I love to Christmas shop. Mostly clothes this year, as they are in desperate need for clothes, and clothes are useful, plus they really don’t need any more toys, are are growing out of the toys anyway. I have already picked them up a few things, and they have done their shopping for each other.
Ugh, I still have to get something for my nephew too, and I just don’t know what to get!! He doesn’t need anymore toys either, so that leaves me wondering what to get him. I will figure out something though, I hope. *LOL*.
Well off to do more work.
